Aubrey Plaza Expecting First Child With Christopher Abbott

Aubrey Plaza is expecting her first child, according to confirmed reports published on April 7, 2026. The actress and her partner, actor Christopher Abbott, are preparing to welcome the baby later this fall.

The news was first reported by People and subsequently confirmed by other major outlets. Sources close to the couple described the pregnancy as a “beautiful surprise.”

While Plaza and Abbott have kept their relationship largely private, they share a longstanding professional connection. The two starred together in the 2020 film Black Bear and later appeared opposite each other in the 2023–2024 off-Broadway revival of Danny and the Deep Blue Sea. Their personal relationship had not been widely publicized prior to the pregnancy announcement.

Speculation about Plaza’s pregnancy began earlier this year when she appeared in loose-fitting outfits during Paris Fashion Week in March. The reports now confirm those suspicions, though neither Plaza nor Abbott has publicly commented in detail.

The baby is expected to arrive in fall 2026. No information has been released about the child’s sex or a specific due date.

The announcement comes during a significant period in Plaza’s personal life. It follows the death of her husband, filmmaker Jeff Baena, in early 2025. Sources indicate that this new chapter has brought a sense of renewal and happiness.

Plaza, 41, and Abbott, 40, are expected to maintain their privacy as they prepare for the arrival of their child.
